“If UPA Was Right In Amending Anti-Terror Law, Then So Are We”: Amit Shah

New Delhi: 

Home Minister Amit Shah today attacked the opposition over a debate on amendments to a key anti-terror bill. “A government fights terrorism; it shouldn’t matter which party is in power,” Mr Shah said in parliament.

The Unlawful Activities Prevention (Amendment) Bill seeks to designate a person suspected to have terror links as a “terrorist”, which the opposition alleged could be misuse.

Replying to the opposition’s allegations that anyone who questioned the government is termed as anti-national, Mr Shah said the police have no wish to harass genuine social activists. “There are in fact many social activists who are doing good work… But we will smash the urban Maoists,” Mr Shah said.

“There’s a need for a provision to declare an individual as a terrorist. The UN has a procedure for it, the US has it, even Pakistan has it, China, Israel, European Union… Everyone has done it,” Mr Shah said.

“When you (opposition) question us you don’t see who brought the law and amendments, who made it stringent. It was brought when you were in power, what you did then was right and what I’m doing now is also right,” the Home Minister said.
